The car is said to have been repainted brown during refurbishment. Features include a split rear window body, rubber-lined running boards, chrome trim, a driver-side mirror, and chrome bumpers.
Brown-finished 15″ steel wheels wear polished center caps and are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. Braking is provided by hydraulic four-wheel drums.
The car incorporates Basta pillar-mounted pop-out semaphore turn indicators.
The cabin features seating that was reupholstered in striped cloth with brown piping and matching door trim panels. Equipment includes front quarter-panel fresh air vents, storage pockets in the dash, front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, floor mats, crank windows, and cream switchgear, knobs, and buttons.
The two-spoke “batwing” steering wheel frames a clock-wise sweeping green-letter VDO 120-km/h speedometer and a Mauthe analog clock. The 5-digit odometer shows 99k kilometers (~61k miles), a handful of which have been added by the selling dealer.
The 1.1-liter flat-four is constructed of an alloy block and heads with finned cylinders along with cast-iron cylinder liners and was factory rated at 24.5 horsepower and 51 lb-ft of torque.
The engine stamp matches the number documented in the Finnish registration booklet from 1952 depicted in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed split-case manual transaxle.
